The old campaiga is livening up a bit. Some very distinguished gentlemen having reached such | degree of peevishness in disputation upon public | matters as to increase the membership of the well- | known, and aristocratic Ananias Club. Seems. like _ old times. The present situation appears to have arisen ? | from * -a statement ‘made in a public address by 4 » United States Senator ‘Selden P. Spencer, while f campaigning for re-election down in Missouri. Mr. pore quoted President Wilson as having prom- ised military aid to Serbia’ and Rumania’ in the _ event’ of international difficulties, in a speech he ; made. in Paris with delegations from these coun- _ tries an esent. ; i Although the same statement, made by Sena- | tor Spencer, had been published in the Washington t Star. December 3, 1919, published in the Century ?\ Magazine for May, 1920, quoted in a Speech by Paeey Ant eA Od SHBORSS IOS LS Senator Reed in the senate, December 4, 1919, ap- peared in the Congressional Record for the. same date, and published broadcast over the United States by opponents of the League of Nations, there had never been a previous denial from the White House. But this time there was a denial. Mr. Wilson, wiring. Senator Spencer that’ the ‘statement was \ false.’ Upon the written evidence of Mr. fierber Gibbons, a distinguished‘ +\bbazine ‘writer, t atta son’s ,peace delegation, published’ in ‘Century for May, here are Mr. Wilson’s words to the Serbs and Rumanians on May 31, 1919, at the eighth plenary session of the peace conference: You must not forget that it is force which is the final guaranty of the public.peace. If the world is again troubled the United States wilt send to this side of the ocean their army and fleet. Mr. Wilson was urged by Mr. Spencer to pro- duce’ the stenographic notes of his address and he replied that he was willing to permit the people of Missouri to judge as to who was telling the truth; Mr. Spencer or himself. Tt may be noted that althotgh the address was | delivered May 31, the text did not pass the Frerich censor until December, 3, when the story was cabled by Mr: Gibbons to the Washington Star. Since the people of Missouri demand always to ‘be shown, we will let them wrestle with the situa- tion as to which of the gentlemen engaged in the dispute has made the best showing in matters of truth»and veracity. NOT FOR REAL ESTATE. Sérnator Borah delivers no delicate slap upor the Wrest when he squares away to tackle the Leagtie’of Nations. Each new‘assault seems more tremendous than the’ previous one, and each new argument more conclusive and unanswerable. A few days after he told the Connecticut peo- ple what he thought of the league, Homer Cum- mingé went elsewhere to talk Cox and Democracy and the betting was that Connecticut would roll up 30,000 Republican majority. Here is how Senator Borah convinced them: “The president's last letter to the public informs } us: that article X. does: not interfere with the right of cangress to declare war or not to declare war. I | can conceive of but one way that congress could get / out of declaring war in case of the invasion of ter- hag! of a member of the league, and that would be toVielate and wholly distegard the plain terms of the treaty and to rend in pieces the league cove- nant ‘itself. e president has said heretofore, } supreme: moral obligation upgn the part of om na- i tion, which méral obligation fie declared to be ritore | binding than. an. obligation of law or contract.

And the president could do that without consulting congress for a moment. “Your boy might be ready to die for justice, he might be willing to die in the cause of another peo- ple fighting for liberty, but under the: compect you tie him down to die fox a piece of real estate.” When we were making the world safe for de- mocracy, at a camp in France, when the mud got deep; a walk was built by placing side by side un- opened boxes “of automobile magnetos, It was known.as the million-dollar walk, INSIST ON ECONOMY. The international financial conference in Brus- sels, which is endeavoring to find a way to a bettor situation in the fiscal affairs of the several nations of the'world, has practically adopted the American idea repeatedly expressed by American statesmen on the Republican side ever. since the armistice. The conference committee-on public finance says in its report: “Public opinion is largely responsible for near- ly every government being pressed to incur fresh expenditures, largely on palliatives that aggravate the very evils against which they are directed.” The committee concludes that first of all public opinion must be worked upon; attention being drawn to the fact that a reduction in prices and re- storation of prosperity is dependent upon increased production, which finds a serious obstacle in the continual excess of government expenditure over revenue. On an average 20 per cent of natignal revenues still are being spent upon armaments and preparations for war. The conference affirms with the greatest emphasis that the world cannot afford this expenditure. : Remedies proposed by the committee are: Re- striction of the ordinary current expenditures to an amount that can be covered by ordinary revenues, reduce all expenditures on.armaments as far as compatible with preservation of the national secur- it,y, abandon all unproductive extraordinary expen- ditures and restrict even the extraordinary product+ ive expenditure to the lowest possible amount. Heroism in France does not excuse graft in America. The administration, at the beginning of the war, seized German ships valued at. 215,000,- 00D and tried’ to sell them after war to an English controlled company. for $27,000,000. stopped by court injunction and a resolution of congress. Attempted loss, waste or graft, $188,- A SMALL AFFAIR. Congressman Dallinger is most certainly smoking up Mr. Secretary Baker for granting a parole to the Honorable Hard-Boiled Smith, the distinguished overseas officer, who, delighted to in- flict undsual punishment upon American boys guilty in infraction of military discipline. But then, Dallinges’ s efforts are wasted for Mr. Secretary Baker isfimpervious to either criticism or shame. Paroling Mr. H. B. Smith is just a little thing, why | get exgited: about it. Look at the other things Baker has done. He thay. be contemplating a reunion of war |’ celebraties, the Bergdolls, Allisons, Scrippses and others of his friends, and, of course, H. B. had to be paroled in order to attend the party. TRIBUTE TO LEGIONNAIRES. Ib an ‘address at: Fremont, Ohio, to the heroes of thtee wars, Sene.or Harding paid this tribute to the boys who fought in France: “T voice today a tribute to the steadfastness, the resolution, the undaunted courage, the irresist- ible determination of the forees in the American ex- peditionary forces. They wrought less in brilliancy, but more in glory. They were less trained, but profited more from Europe’s costly experience. They: were delayed in ‘reaching the battle front, but they ‘speeded in meeting the enemy. They made few trenches, but they took many. They had few objectives, but they reached the one big one, and did their full part to save world civilization. They came! home with as littke parade as. they went. America never saw. the spectacle of their might and majesty, but America has sensed the bigness of our expeditionary army and those in cainp ready for call, and somehow there is a féelmg of renewed security throughout the republic. “A republic worth fighting for in Europe, is even more worth living for at home. The men ; who battled for American rights, American security nd American honor, must hold an Anierican.whose rights are béyond question, means: guavanteed tighicousness, whose honor is unquestioned at home or abroad, If we are sure about, thesé, then the | honored dead shall:not have died! ity vain.” Poor old Josephus Daniels, out stumping for ‘our whole people with dishonor and, moral turpi- } Cox, is gueeted on arrival at Jolict, Ill., only by a tude.
